AWS by HTTP

Overview

This template is designed for the effortless deployment of AWS monitoring by Zabbix via HTTP and doesn't require any external scripts.

Requirements

Zabbix version: 7.0 and higher.

Tested versions

This template has been tested on:

  • AWS by HTTP

Configuration

Zabbix should be configured according to the instructions in the Templates out of the box section.

Setup

Before using the template, you need to create an IAM policy for the Zabbix role in your AWS account with the necessary permissions.

Add the following required permissions to your Zabbix IAM policy in order to collect metrics.

{
    "Version": "2012-10-17",
    "Statement": [
        {
            "Action": [
                "cloudwatch:DescribeAlarms",
                "cloudwatch:GetMetricData",
                "ec2:DescribeInstances",
                "ec2:DescribeVolumes",
                "ec2:DescribeRegions",
                "rds:DescribeEvents",
                "rds:DescribeDBInstances",
                "ecs:DescribeClusters",
                "ecs:ListServices",
                "ecs:ListTasks",
                "ecs:ListClusters",
                "s3:ListAllMyBuckets",
                "s3:GetBucketLocation",
                "elasticloadbalancing:DescribeLoadBalancers",
                "elasticloadbalancing:DescribeTargetGroups",
                "ec2:DescribeSecurityGroups",
                "lambda:ListFunctions"
            ],
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Resource": "*"
        }
    ]
}

If you are using role-based authorization, add the appropriate permissions:

{
    "Version": "2012-10-17",
    "Statement": [
        {
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Action": "iam:PassRole",
            "Resource": "arn:aws:iam::<<--account-id-->>:role/<<--role_name-->>"
        },
        {
            "Sid": "VisualEditor1",
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Action": [
                "cloudwatch:DescribeAlarms",
                "cloudwatch:GetMetricData",
                "ec2:DescribeInstances",
                "ec2:DescribeVolumes",
                "ec2:DescribeRegions",
                "rds:DescribeEvents",
                "rds:DescribeDBInstances",
                "ecs:DescribeClusters",
                "ecs:ListServices",
                "ecs:ListTasks",
                "ecs:ListClusters",
                "s3:ListAllMyBuckets",
                "s3:GetBucketLocation",
                "ec2:AssociateIamInstanceProfile",
                "ec2:ReplaceIamInstanceProfileAssociation",
                "elasticloadbalancing:DescribeLoadBalancers",
                "elasticloadbalancing:DescribeTargetGroups",
                "ec2:DescribeSecurityGroups",
                "lambda:ListFunctions"
            ],
            "Resource": "*"
        }
    ]
}

To gather Request metrics, enable Requests metrics on your Amazon S3 buckets from the AWS console.

Set macros "{$AWS.AUTH_TYPE}". Possible values: role_base, access_key.

If you are using access key-based authorization, set the following macros {$AWS.ACCESS.KEY.ID}, {$AWS.SECRET.ACCESS.KEY}.

For more information about managing access keys, see official documentation.

Refer to the Macros section for a list of macros used for LLD filters.
